How to add AVG to another computer using my subscription...

I have a subscription and can use AVG on 10 devices. I have it loaded on one computer so far I think. I just got another laptop. How do I add AVG to my new laptop using the downloads available from my subscription?

Hello Denny,

We're glad to help you with this.

It came with a free McAffee trial but I like AVG. McAffee expires in 4 days

Thank you for the clarification, Denny.

It is generally not recommended to use more than one security solution on a single system, as they will compete for resources, which may result in slowdowns, crashes or in no protection at all.
Hence, we request you to uninstall the McAfee security program, restart your laptop once & then install/activate your AVG Internet Security.
We've sent you an email with further instructions. Please check your inbox/spam folders for the email and use it to revert to us.

I was going to uninstall the McAffee first. I'm wondering how to load the AVG on the new laptop since I all ready have a subscription for it. When I download it will AVG recognize it's from my existing account and that I'm able to use multiple downloads on mulitple devices?

AVG Internet Security (Multi-Device).....this is the subscription I have...I renewed it a couple months ago. I have it downloaded on my desktop. I want to keep it on the desktop but also download it on my HP laptop with Windows 10. Like I stated, it"s been purchased before and renewed.Do I just go to my account page that shows my suscription and just hit download? I don't want to do something wrong and end up getting charged for it again.
